What are endpoints in RPC?

Server host systems maintain a database of these ports, which are called endpoints in RPC. The database is called the endpoint map. Client programs create a binding to the server to establish a communication session. A binding contains all of the information the client applications needs to create the session.

Why do server applications use dynamic endpoints?

Most server applications use dynamic endpoints to avoid conflict with other programs over the limited number of ports that are available on the server host computer system. However, programs using named pipes or the ncalrpc protocol sequence have a very large endpoint name space.

How does a server use a well-known endpoint?

When your server uses a well-known endpoint, it can include the endpoint data as part of its name service database entry. If it does, the client's binding handle contains a complete server address that includes the well-known endpoint when the client imports the binding handle from the server entry.

What is RPC protocol?

RPC is a request–response protocol. An RPC is initiated by the client, which sends a request message to a known remote server to execute a specified procedure with supplied parameters. The remote server sends a response to the client, and the application continues its process.
